E&S BBQ is a hidden gem with the best pulled pork sandwich ever. The service is friendly, making the experience a joy. With daily specials like "free dessert," the ribs and brisket are sweet and tender, although the heavy-handed bbq sauce was a drawback. The banana pudding is fluffy and irresistible. The owners are hardworking, making it the best mom & pop BBQ joint. The chopped beef sandwich comes highly recommended. The restaurant has recently changed from Happy BBQ, with a new dining room, new name, and ownership, but the quality of the food remains rich and rustic, true to Texas style. The decor is polished rancher's style. Customers say the brisket is really good, especially when freshly smoked, and the pulled pork is unbeatable. Some mention a popular Walton Burrito filled with barbecued beef, baked beans, and zesty sauce, which is hearty and satisfying. The restaurant is located far from larger cities like Canton and Athens, but is well worth the drive. Many reviews highlight the friendliness of staff and the great atmosphere, with conversations and jokes shared during visits. Portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and the overall experience is highly recommended for anyone craving authentic BBQ.
